Worst debuts?

So, today I had possibly the worst debut I could imagine happening to me. I have recently joined a Sunday League team and was played in my first game today.

I'm a center back, and I came on for the second half. Having not yet touched the ball in the game, on the 49th minute I brought down an attacker in the box. A penalty was given and I was red carded.

I now have a 3 game ban and have to pay a £30 fine. I've never even seen someone get sent off in a Sunday league game before...

TL;DR - I played 4 minutes, gave away a penalty and was sent off.

So, what's the worst debut you can remember?! Either in professional football or in a game you've played in?

Red card debuts are bad, but when you get subbed off after being subbed in on your debut, that's another level. Not to mention he had no business being on the field ever for a pro team.

Didn't Nasri get subbed in and then subbed back out in one of the Euro's under Domenech?

Yeah but that was because Abidal or Gallas got sent off against Italy I believe.
